Breakthrough: Elizabeth Hughes, the Discovery of Insulin, and the Making of a Medical Miracle
Thea Cooper
It is 1919 and Elizabeth Hughes, the eleven-year-old daughter of America's most-distinguished jurist and politician, Charles Evans Hughes, has been diagnosed with juvenile diabetes. It is essentially a death sentence. The only accepted form of treatment - starvation - whittles her down to forty-five pounds skin and bones.
